THRIVING TEAMS
Build a High-Performing Effective Team
A high-performing team focuses on its common purpose and goals. Team members work together through strong relationships and shared accountability to deliver exceptional business results.
The Thriving Team sessions are focused on the team’s effectiveness, as this will lead to high performance and help unify the organisation to meet the strategic goals. The sessions will focus on how to understand their own individual leadership styles to build self-awareness and understand how each team member operates, their shared value and how to get the best out of each other. Teams don’t operate in isolation. They are part of a complex adaptive system with external influences such as stakeholders. We develop positive leadership strategies for greater team impact that can be sustained by the team. We do this through working through real business challenges and applying research, frameworks and the Thriving Teams Model.

Approach
A 6-session journey would generally be completed over 6-12 months. In my experience, in one session, you will see a lift and more awareness; in 3-4 sessions, you will see a shift in behaviour and ways of working; by session six, you will see sustained productive behaviours that flow through the organisation.
My approach combines facilitation, leadership development and team coaching. The team coaching approach means the topics, order and what we discuss are guided by where the team is and what is most important. For example, a team may identify that collective decision-making is a blocker to their success, so we work with that as it is most important, rather than a pre-proposed schedule.
We can be adaptable, many teams I work with are geographically dispersed, so shorter virtual sessions. Or a mixture of face-to-face and virtual works well too.

Excellent guidance with just the right amount of input into the sessions from Claire. Most presenters are full of their imagined awesomeness and wax lyrical, expecting us to worship...not in this case. It's a hard gig to pull off well. Well done, Claire. Looking forward to engaging with you more in future. If you have been able to read something from my Facet5 prole, it is that I don't give out praise often and am normally vastly underwhelmed by presenters/consultants, especially in the leadership space. I'm too old and have been around for too long and have heard most things before! So, when I praise, as I have, it puts you in quite special company. I don't feel like most people deserve my praise so very well done. You present well and facilitate very well also. If you had an NPS, I would indeed be a promoter Thriving Culture
